Where are the fathers ?
Entitlement. Backdoor reparations.
On Maury or making new babies.
“Spark” theft?! SNAP IS theft!
In prison, where else?
Time to start complaining about “food deserts”.
40,000,000 out of appx. 350,000,000 people in America are on food stamps. Let that sink in for a minute.
Deport them.
Why don’t they have their kids save some food from their free school breakfast, lunch, and dinner and bring it home?

When you're talking about federal spending "entitlement" has a precise legal definition.
It has nothing to do with "feeling entitled" to something.
Welfare payments are *not* an entitlement.
Entitlements are paid regardless of the shutdown, such as Social Security and military pensions.
Federal spending is in this order: Debt service, entitlements, budget items.
Welfare is a budget item.
What's going on is the Democrats are willing to unleash riots and looting to get their budget.
It’s the millionaires and billionaires that are stealing from these gentle folks though. Smh
Marxism in America has created a sense of entitlement among those who have been indoctrinated to believe they are victims. They feel entitled the goods and services that belong to others. They feel owed, so they feel no guilt about stealing.
If you mean Schumer and Jeffries, both are millionaires, then yes.

Not a single H1-B worker among them.
With any luck, the government will be shut down for at least an extra month and we’ll find out that the SNAP program is not actually needed.
Some things to keep in mind:
-Famines are always associated with severe reduction to food supply, never solely due to finances. As far as I know, there has never been a famine in the US.
-It doesn’t take a government to hand someone a sandwich. When people are truly in need, the public steps up. The only problem here are stupid states like CA that over-regulate food charities.
-How many SNAP accounts are for bona-fide needy? Given the state of voter rolls, I wonder how often accounts are screened. Along this line:
-—A lot of folks use payday loans and choke down the loss of 10% of their paycheck so as to deliberately not have a bank account where their assets can be discovered, causing a loss of benefits. The $ value of benefits exceed the 10% pay hit.
-—Foreign actors have been known to set up fraudulent accounts to get money out of the US in other areas like student loans, emergency loans, etc., why not here?
-—When someone enters the program, how often is their financial situation re-evaluated?. Take Maryland where even politicians have taken homestead exemptions on property tax when no longer qualified. This never happens on SNAP?
-—I wouldn’t be surprised if Letitia Jame’s niece is getting SNAP. All she has to do is claim she’s actually paying rent at her aunt’s house, even though she is not, and POOF - free fatness.
“The USDA’s SNAP program, which injected $99.8 billion into economies in FY 2024”
BS, the money was taken from us taxpayers. Redistribution of wealth is the only thing congress does well.
Anyone arrested for theft should have their benefits permanently cut off.
12% is FAR too many parasites.
